I'm New to Toyark, but not to Toy Pics!
 

Where to start?

A few years back, I posted fairly regularly on TFW2005 as Autobot Dave. I was a huge Masterpiece Transformers fan, and really dug taking pics of them. When the aesthetic changed to be more cartoon accurate, I didn't like them as much, and decided it was too expensive a hobby to not be over the moon with each figure. So I sold them all but MP-1.

I also took a lot of pics of the Modern Era G.I. Joe figures on JoeDios as DaveCW2, but shooting them hasn't been too exciting for the last few years.

I used to have a ton of Marvel Legends and Star Wars figures. And I sold almost all of them.

Fast forward to now, and frankly, I need a hobby - an escape. My business has me swamped and I need a creative outlet. That means it's time to get back into collecting and shooting, while trying my best to be a bit more discerning about what I let into the collection. And there's where it's always been tough for yours truly :o

I'll likely be hanging out in the Marvel Forums, as the Marvel Legends since 2015 have me pretty excited. Though I still have some G.I. Joes and Marvel Universe figs, and will be picking up the odd figure here and there.

Since my return to collecting, I picked up the Marvel Legends Jim Lee versions of Cyclops and Rogue - thank you Amazon gift card - a Vintage Series ML Wolverine, and a Black Series Han Solo, Harrison Ford / New Hope-style. And I already had a Juggernaut Wave ML Wolverine. Because :wolv

I pre-ordered a case of the new ML X-Men wave, which means I'm clearly sticking to the whole "discerning" thing, and will be picking up the Juggernaut wave Deadpool at some point soon.

Longest intro ever, I know, but I have a pretty long toy-collecting / photographing history. And I can't wait to get back into it!

Have fun, all!

Welcome Dave :)
